Family Devotion Day 20: Strong, loving families make a strong, loving Singapore

Read 

Deuteronomy 6:5-7 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.

Learn

Most of our parents try to be a good example for us because they know that we are watching and learning from their behaviour. They want to teach us what is right according to God’s Word. 

When our mother and father are loving to each other, they are also helping to build a strong family.

But sometimes our parents do things we do not like, such as quarrelling. When that happens, remember that they are not perfect. 

Let’s pray for our parents’ marriage to be strong. Let’s pray they will continue to love each other and love us, so that we can love God together. Strong families make a stronger Singapore!

/ Discuss
  • How do you feel when you see your parents laughing and enjoying their time together? How about when you see your parents quarrelling? What do you do?
  • What are some good values or behaviours that your parents have taught you? 
  • How do strong, loving families make a strong, loving Singapore?
/ Pray
  • Speak God’s blessings upon your parents’ marriage. Pray that God will bless the marriage with love and kindness. 
  • Pray for God’s wisdom for your parents so that they will be able to make decisions for the family that put God first. 
  • Ask God to surround your family with godly friends so that your family can grow in faith, love, wisdom and thankfulness.
